Guardian Alarm announces the acquisition of Executive Security Consultants in Columbus, OH

Established in 1988 by Doug and Sandy Huey, Executive Security Consultants (ESC) provides residential and commercial alarm services in the greater Columbus area. Together, they worked countless hours to ensure they were providing peace of mind to their customers. This acquisition continues this legacy as both companies provide exemplary, personalized customer service, but also have a family-like culture that exists within their teams.

“Guardian Alarm has been serving the Columbus market for many years and we look forward to welcoming the employees and customers of Executive Security Consultants,” said Brent Uhl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Guardian Alarm. “Executive Security Consultants has delivered reliable customer service in the Columbus metro area for over thirty years. With this merger, we will be able to expand their services to include fire and alarm services to area businesses and municipalities.”

My experience with Tony, the Manager was impressive. He had to work through some previous missteps in communication with others to resolve any issues or concerns on my end. It's rare to find such an effective manager anywhere these days.
Tim K upgraded my existing alarm system and added cameras.
He was prompt, professional, knowledgeable and very accommodating and open when I asked for a change in location of the monitoring screen. He made sure I understood everything and asked if I had any further questions. I was delighted to find such an expert and would highly recommend requesting Tim K. if you choose Guardian alarm which I also highly recommend as a company.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review, Laura! We're so glad to hear Tony was able to step in and effectively resolve your concerns, and that Tim provided such a professional and accommodating installation experience. It's great to know he took the time to ensure everything was clearly explained and tailored to your preferences. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust in Guardian!
